Hi,

I'm wanting to automate a Smart Light with a Wyze Sense so that when a door opens and closes the light turns on and off. Catch is I'm after a smart light with at GU5.3 fitting and there only really seems to be the Laser branded 5W version locally.

It's not clear to me if the Laser brand works with IFTTT - I think they may use Grid Connect which doesn't appear to work with IFTTT from what I can see? Does anyone have any experience with the Laser brand lights or could recommend an alternate with a GU5.3 fitting?

Thanks in advance.

grid connect is a tuya app, and generally you can add any tuya device into any app, but the problem is you only get the services that the lamp maker paid for working, so even if you put them into brilliant smart or smartlife which will connect to ifttt, you will not get them in the device list when you go to set up ifttt to do things.

Thanks for the response - sounds like I might be best to try and find a different bulb then!
